Erratum: Ultrasonographic Demonstration of the Tissue Microvasculature in Children: Microvascular Ultrasonography Versus Conventional Color Doppler Ultrasonography

Abstract

The publisher and authors would like to draw the reader's attention to an error in the following article.

The clinical application of ultrasonography with superb microvascular imaging‐a review

“…Currently, devices with SMI imaging capabilities are mainly provided by Toshiba's Aplio. Images can be obtained using a convex array probe (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) or linear array probe (3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11). To obtain high-quality images, the manipulation should be gentle, especially the probe need to be placed lightly on the surface of the skin to prevent capillaries from collapsing.…”

“…With the increasing awareness of people's pursuit of health, ultrasonography (US) has become one of the most common imaging modalities. Conventional doppler technology have certain limitations, since it uses a wall filter to filter the echo signal generated by non‐blood flow motion through the cutoff frequency to suppress the low‐frequency elements of the clutter artifacts caused by movement and respiration 1 (Figure 1A). However, due to the frequency superposition effect, when the clutter artifacts were eliminated by conventional ultrasound, the intralesional micro‐flow signals were also filtered out simultaneously, resulting in the loss of information of microvessels.…”
